We returned to Plataria—the first place we stayed in Greece—because it is just an 11-minute drive from the ferry terminal. You catch the ferry in Igoumenitsa; it takes 20 hours to reach Ancona. Three years ago, we took the ferry from Igoumenitsa to Bari; the journey took about six hours. Plataria We stayed at the same spot: Camperstop Plataria Beach […]
We decided to visit Fano before taking the ferry to Greece. When we visited Fano, we discovered a very lively city with a beautiful old town. We were told that the city dates back 2,000 years and it was founded by Julius Caesar in 49 BC. We were there on a Sunday, and the entire old town was a bustling […]
We went to Cesenatico, which we’d never heard of before, because we saw it had a port designed by Leonardo da Vinci. It’s a coastal town, but we didn’t like the beach at all. What we loved, however, was the port designed by Leonardo da Vinci, which is magnificent with sailboats, bridges, bars and delicious food. The old town, with […]
We went to Ravenna because we could park in the centre and explore the city on foot. We knew it had a basilica and other remarkable buildings, but we didn’t know that Dante’s tomb was there, nor that it had so many UNESCO World Heritage sites. We spent several hours wandering around the city, and it was well worth it; […]
We were going to Florence, but the motorhome area was full, the campsites were on the outskirts and incredibly expensive, so we decided to go to Barberino di Mugello, a town between Florence and Bologna. When I looked at the town, I saw that it was very old, with a historic centre dating back to the Middle Ages. In the […]
Since we were in the area, we decided to visit Pisa to see the famous Leaning Tower. We were surprised to discover that the city has a wall that runs the entire length of the old town. Entering through any archway in the wall, you’re greeted with a stunning view of the tower. The tower stands in a breathtaking square […]
We went to Spotorno, in the province of Savona, because we had read that it was a charming coastal town with beautiful beaches and historic buildings. And it certainly didn’t disappoint. We loved the town centre, full of narrow streets with the cutest shops, bars, and restaurants. Truly, a beach town brimming with character. Where to stay We stayed at […]
San Lorenzo al Mare was our first stop in Italy. We decided to go there because we saw that it was a charming coastal town located on the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria. We loved its old town with its narrow alleyways, covered passageways, and colourful houses overlooking the sea. Highlights included the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena, an 18th-century […]
Parma is a university city in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, famed for Parmesan cheese and Parma ham, and Romanesque buildings such as Parma Cathedral in the city centre. We stayed at Area Sosta Camper de Parma (44.8088, 10.2844 lat, long) which is the motorhome area of the city. It is really good, the manager of the area is very friendly and […]
Sorrento Sorrento is a coastal town in southwestern Italy, facing the Bay of Naples on the Sorrentine Peninsula. Perched atop cliffs that separate the city from its busy marinas, it’s known for sweeping water views and Piazza Tasso, a cafe-lined square. We stayed at the only camping we could go with our 8 metres motorhome, Camping Campogaio Santafortunata (40.627602, 14.3577 […]
